Wallabies coach Dave Rennie is urging Australian officials not to abandon Super Rugby Pacific, saying it's important for the development of his players that they continue to face New Zealand sides.

Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan reportedly dropped a bombshell last week by telling Kiwi counterpart Stewart Mitchell that Australia would consider going it alone in Super Rugby from 2024 onwards.
